We’ve proudly represented Kauaʻi for nearly 30 years, and we’re as energized as ever to continue offering legendary tours to the Nāpali Coast, Niʻihau, and beyond. This year, we’re aiming for the top spot again—and we need your kōkua to get there!
Why Vote Holo Holo?
Founded in 1997 by master boat builder and lifelong sailor Kevin Millett, Holo Holo started with a vision and a handcrafted 65’ power catamaran built right here on Kauaʻi. Fast forward to 2025: our fleet now includes Leila, our sleek 50’ sailing catamaran, with two more vessels on the horizon, thanks to new leadership from Adrian and Chandra Bertsch, with Kevin still guiding the way.
Our tours are more than boat rides—they’re immersive journeys to Kauaʻi’s most dramatic coastlines and sacred sites, paired with unforgettable sunsets, ocean wildlife encounters, chef-inspired meals, and the warmest crew on the water.
From the vibrant cliffs of the Nāpali Coast to the remote beauty of Niʻihau and Lehua Crater, we strive to deliver not just scenery but a soulful experience that honors the land, sea, and spirit of Hawaiʻi.
Our Mission: Simply the Best
“To be unconditionally accepted island-wide as the best all-around boat tour company on Kauaʻi.”
That means:
-
🌺 Having a company culture that supports passionate people who love what we do!
-
⛵ Custom performance vessels, built by us, for our waters.
-
🤝Committed to supporting the environment, culture, history, and community of Kauaʻi.
-
🌟 Personal service ensuring you have a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
- 🌊 Creating safe, unforgettable experiences on the ocean.
We live this mission every single day—and this nomination is a beautiful reminder that it’s all worth it.
